Sting + Blondie

二 (edited)

Natsu had ripped out of Gray and Gajeel's grip earlier than I thought he would. Our circle was quiet, not a word to be spoken out of anyone's mouth. He began walking out of the guild and I hadn't even began running to look for Sting.

"Where's he going?" Levy whisper to Gajeel. The answer was obvious, he was going to fight Sting without acknowledging that their guild has changed for the better.

"I'm not dating anyone. Stupid media jumps to conclusions way too much." I sighed, fixing my hair into a ponytail. It was late, I wanted to sleep, but I had to fix this stupid mess before anyone got injured.

"Better find Sting before Natsu does," Gajeel says, plopping onto the bar chair. I nodded, running as fast as I could. I quickly found myself in the middle of town, where I first found Lector at. I thought maybe a simple sign could point me toward their direction. But surprisingly, I met a green cat with a cute pink frog costume on. This must be Frosch, Lector's friend that he talks highly of way too much. He began crying for help, I immediately figured he was trying to find Rogue. There was no reason an exceed should be out around 8:00 p.m. alone. But literally, they needed to watch over them more often and be more responsible.

"Come on! I'll help you!" I smiled, motioning to Frosch to run with me. His tears slowly disappeared before running along with me yet slowly, at least it was progress.

"We were getting food but Rogue disappeared in the dark, leaving Fro alone! Rogue says we stay at that hotel." Frosch pointed, my gaze met a small, yet well-kept building that stood up with bricks as its support. I nodded.

"What room?" I asked him, running toward that direction after picking him up since he was too slow. I needed to make it to Natsu and Sting quickly before anything idiotic was to occur. I feared the safety of the people since most were asleep around this time of day, no one wants to be sent to the hospital in the middle of slumber.

"32A, second floor," He answered, rubbing his red-shot eyes. I felt bad for him, he must have been crying for a long time. We made it to the building, running upward the stairs before encountering a semi-dark hallway. Shivers ran down my spine as I began walking through it. I had to hold my head close to the signs to see the room number, but we eventually found it.

"This room?" I asked Frosch, pointing to a room with black lining around it. Even through the hallway was dark, I could clearly see the darkness seeping through the cracks, it was eerily interesting.
Frosch confirmed that we had the correct room, opening the door and quickly placing him on the floor.

"Rogue!" Frosch exclaimed, jumping into Rogue's extended arms. He looked at me momentarily, putting him down as I entered the room.

"Hi," He awkwardly said. I didn't know how to answer so I slapped my legs, making a nice beat.

"Where's Sting?" I remembered what I was here for, turning my head frantically. I wasted almost two minutes staring around this room, Natsu and Sting could have ruined town already!

"They're outside, Natsu pulled him outside."

We walked over to the balcony, observing that they were smack-talking each other near a fountain. I was relieved that they hadn't began fighting.
But, moments don't last long, they started throwing sloppy punches toward each other, making Rogue pop a small chuckle.

"Should I stop this?" I ask him, Frosch taking side by us.

"No, just let them settle this themselves."

We watched as they hit each other with multiple hits that correlated with their powers. There was constant flashes and flames being thrown around, and it was all my fault. I should of had explained it to Natsu before reacting as I did, except he just left without an actual explanation.
Sting got distracted by Rogue encouraging him to use his special powers, so Natsu had an open chance. He hit him with a tunnel of flames, blasting Sting backward into a brick building. I saw his efforts of attempting to block it and I immediately felt bad.

He flipped his head forward, running toward his pink-haired target. Sting threw multiple punches and kicks toward Natsu, pinning him down to the concrete floor and blasting him with a fist that was engulfed in bright light.

The impact hit almost all the buildings around their 'arena', it caused the buildings to begin toppling to the floor, including the hotel Rogue and I were standing in.
"We have to get out of here!" I yelled, Rogue already picking Frosch and I up. As the building began falling downward, somehow Rogue found an advantage point and got us safely to the ground without injury.

As we hit the floor, Sting and Natsu averted their glances toward us, completely stopping their stupid fight.
"Lucy?" They screamed in unison, headbutting each other as they did so.

"I'd like to clarify, I don't even know why we were fighting." Sting tried talking but Natsu wasn't letting him. He quickly punched his back, sending him to the ground.

"Natsu, I don't understand why you quickly move to violence! We aren't dating, I just found his exceed and returned him to Sting. If Happy was returned to you, wouldn't you like to thank the person who did so?" I scolded, crossing my arms in a pouty action. He nodded, looking down at the floor so only silence found its way into our ears.

"That dating part, it could happen though," Sting smirked. It alleviated the awkward silence, except it ignited another flame in Natsu, causing him to punch him once more.

"I see that blush, Lucy! Don't do it, it only ends in heartbreak!" He muttered, glaring at Sting. If looks could kill, Sting would be six feet under ground already.

Sting scratched the back of his head,
"That's not true."

"I don't want this blonde bastard to hurt you, you're my partner and my best friend. It'd hurt me as well if you were heartbroken."

"Thank you, Natsu. But understand since you're my best friend, I would tell you everything." I smiled, sidehugging him as I glanced at the broken hotel Sting and Rogue were supposed to sleep in.
"Wow, go and destroy a hotel Rogue and Sting stayed in... Now where you going to stay?"

They both smirked, sharing a glance with each other before looking toward me. I wish I had never asked that question.

"Oh~ I call the bed!" Lector and Frosch jumped, entering my house happily as I lugged in extra luggage that the boys didn't want to carry.

"No, I call the bed." Sting jokes, I was tempted to step on his dumb toe. I clarified for everyone that I had the bed, but the exceeds would be allowed to join me. Sting and Rogue were given futons on the floor, yet had to provide their own blanket and pillow.

"You sure I can't sleep with you, Lucy?" Sting winked at me as he stepped too close for comfort. I stepped backward into my bed-side table, I could feel my face heat up. He winced in pain as I pushed him aside and kicked his shin,
"I was only joking!"
